Clinical outcome, pain perception and activities of daily life after minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting

Abstract: Objective: Minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) for revascularization of the left anterior descending artery has become a routine operation. We present our clinical experiences with beating heart MIDCAB surgery performed through partial lower sternotomy (PLS) and retrospectively compare the results of pain perception as well as activities of daily life (ADL) with the conventional full sternotomy. Methods: From January 2009 to August 2012, 197 patients underwent MIDCAB using modified PLS at… Show more

(27,32) Correspondingly, bodily pain, general health and vitality were also found to improve significantly. Additionally, the social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health domains also yielded statistically significant results, which have been previously linked to improved QoL and sense of well-being.…”

“…In recent years, many clinics reported their experiences at these applications with excellent results. From ASD repairment to CABG and/or three valve repairments, many cardiac surgical procedures can be performed via minimally invasive approaches (3)(4)(5)(6) . As shown in the Table 2, our cases which include four redo surgeries had the nearly same complexity scale as the world.…”
